## Scope of this page

* Only highlights from the last 120 days are kept here.
* Current window: **November 9, 2025 to March 9, 2026**.
* Anything older should be removed after permanent docs are updated.
* This page is not a long-term changelog archive.

## Recent highlights (rolling)

* **Screen Recorder** A lightweight standalone screen-recorder helper app is now public at <https://vdo.ninja/screenrecorder>.
* **Game Capture** A standalone Windows-only Game Capture app now publishes games or app windows, including window-specific audio, directly to VDO.Ninja without using a browser engine.
* **Ninja VST3 Plugin** An audio-only Windows VST3 plugin for VDO.Ninja workflows is now available, with Reaper support noted.
* **Ninja OBS Plugin** OBS Studio publishing support is now available through the Ninja OBS Plugin, including direct VDO.Ninja publishing and room-source helper features.

## Editor maintenance rule

* Add only recent, high-signal items in the active rolling window.
* Prefer documenting stable behavior in helper-app pages, not only in this log.
* Remove items as they age out of the window.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/updates/updates-helper-apps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
